Birchfield Road - NN1

LESS THAN 1% are pleased to offer this substantial five-bedroom Victorian terraced home, situated in a popular residential area close to both Abington Park and Northampton Racecourse. Offering approximately 2,109 sq ft of accommodation arranged over four floors, the property combines generous room proportions and original period features with the benefit of recent refurbishment and redecoration. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a usable cellar room, a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility room, ground-floor shower room, family bathroom and a rear courtyard garden with off-road parking.

The entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway, where the staircase rises to the first floor and a separate door provides access to stairs descending to the cellar. The hallway also gives access to the principal reception rooms.

The living room is positioned to the front of the property and features a bay window, allowing plenty of natural light into the room. Original double sliding doors open through to the separate dining room.

The dining room continues the character of the house with an original sliding door with stained glass detailing leading into the lean-to. The lean-to provides access to the rear garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space, measuring approximately 18'0" x 10'8", and is fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units incorporating a sink, oven and gas hob. Patio doors open onto the side aspect, with an additional window providing further natural light. A doorway leads through to the separate utility room, which has a window and an external door to the rear.

A ground-floor shower room is also provided, fitted with a shower enclosure, washbasin and WC.

The lower-ground floor houses a useful cellar room, measuring approximately 12'7" x 12'7". With a front-facing window, heating, lighting and power, together with a separate storage area, it provides valuable additional space.

On the first floor, the landing gives access to three of the bedrooms, the family bathroom and a separate WC. Bedroom one is particularly spacious, measuring approximately 17'0" x 13'1", with a bay window to the front. Bedroom two is another generous double, measuring approximately 16'7" x 10'8", with a window to the rear. Bedroom three is also a good-sized double, measuring approximately 12'7" x 10'4", with a rear-facing window.

The family bathroom has a side-facing window and is fitted with a bath with shower over and washbasin. The WC is positioned separately and also benefits from a side-facing window.

The staircase continues to the second-floor landing, which has a rear-facing window and a useful storage cupboard. From here, there are two further bedrooms. Bedroom four is a generous double, measuring approximately 13'1" x 10'4", with a rear-facing window. Bedroom five measures approximately 15'7" x 7'5" and has a Velux roof window to the front.

The property has recently undergone refurbishment and redecoration, with fresh white walls and ceilings and new carpets fitted throughout, giving the accommodation a bright, clean and well-presented finish while retaining the character of its original features.

Outside, the property has an enclosed front garden. To the rear, the garden is laid predominantly to block paving, creating a low-maintenance outdoor space. An electric roller door opens onto the rear service road, allowing the garden to be used for off-road parking.

The location is a particular attraction, with both Abington Park and Northampton Racecourse close by. Abington Park offers attractive landscaped gardens, open green space, a café, children's play area and museum, while the Racecourse provides further open space and recreational facilities. The property is also conveniently positioned for the local amenities of Abington and Northampton town centre.

With its impressive proportions, five well-sized bedrooms, period character, useful cellar and convenient location close to two of Northampton's best-known green spaces, this is a substantial Victorian home offering a great deal of accommodation.
